People who go into the medical and dental fields usually have some outstanding reasons for doing so. Of course, job security has something to do with it. Society will always need people trained to take care of their health in every aspect. Most medical healthcare professionals have a sincere love of science and a dedication to their patients. With that dedication in mind, it makes sense that items like portable dental chairs are so important in the practices of some very dedicated individuals. There are patients that simply can’t come into the medical or dental office. For example, elderly patients that are homebound can benefit from the services of a dentist willing to come to them. People stuck in the hospital or even those that are incarcerated need dental care as well. In addition to portable dental chairs, there is also a host of other portable equipment supplies that make taking your show on the road much easier.

For our purposes here, let’s take a look at some of the features you should look for in your own portable dental chair choices. One of the first things to consider is your comfort. Of course, the patient’s comfort is important, but you need a dental chair that is going to be the correct height for you and allow for easy maneuverability. Things like removable cushions and convenient carrying cases make portable dental chairs that much more user friendly. While we are on the subject of cushions, there is certainly nothing wrong with checking into the firmness of the cushions themselves. As previously noted, many patients that need dental services brought to them are elderly and their safety and comfort is of vital importance.

There is more to the portable dental chairs than just the cushions. Many dental professionals are surprised to learn the structure of the chairs can be very diverse as well. Some are available with a foot pump for raising or lowering the patient as needed. These models tend to be a bit more pricey, not to mention heavier for you or your assistant to carry, though they are very steady for the patient. On the other hand, another portable dental chair design to consider is the scissor leg design. This design resembles a lawn chair on the bottom. They are easily adjustable to fit the professional and the patient for ease of treatment. In many cases, this particular design comes with a carrying bag and detailed instructions for its use and care.

By and large, the old fashioned tradition of making house calls has gone the way of the dinosaur. However, if your medical or dental practice spends some time out and about, you are going to need a high quality portable dental chair that is comfortable to work with and safe for the patients. Fortunately, there are several outstanding models to choose from and there shouldn’t be any problem finding one that works for your needs. Be sure to consider other portable dental equipment items to make the on the road dental office even more efficient. Portable sinks, dental instruments, and delivery systems are vital to this kind of practice.
